- much conservation agriculture
- focus on soils
- many existing projects, eg o water and watersheds, missing
- work on tradeoffs is there
- water harvesting projects here
SYSTEMS PROJECTS
??? projects
- strong connection with NRM projects; blurring of boundaries
- dissemination of technologies, improved varieties, improved production systems
- tend not to be very specific; paper too small to describe them
- lot of conservation agriculture
CROPS PROJECTS
- much breeding against stress, drought
- seed systems and seed delivery
- many are regional in scope
- dominance of legumes and maize
LIVESTOCK PROJECTS
- many fewer projects compared to crops
- separating crops from livestock not helpful; many should be in a systems grouping (aspirational)
- fish largely missing
OTHER PROJECTS
25 projects
focus on:
- nutrition
- capacity building
- markets
- plant health
- mycotoxins
- food safety
- climate change/adaptation
- strengthening faculty/grad students
groups got together to look at them
what patterns did we see?:
